:: Fundraising In order to maintain services to high risk youth, Alternate Shelter Society relies heavily on public funding and private donations. Without these sources of funding, Alternate Shelter Society would not be able to make a difference for the youth it serves. The closure of many organizations such as Alternate Shelter Society has left many youth with no options and little hope. Most youth that are turned away due to lack of resources end up in a life of crime, prostitution, and an early death due to the harsh life on the streets. Organizations such as Alternate Shelter Society can make a difference for many of these individuals. The Alternate Shelter Society needs your support and donations to keep these programs running. Some youth come into our care possessing only the clothes on their back. Thus, we can use anything that youth need on a day to day basis. Making an investment into our programs is an investment into a safe and happy future for all our children. Please feel free to contact us for any further information about Alternate Shelter Society, charitable donation procedures, or to schedule a meeting with the fundraising committee. E-mail our Fundraising Committee: fundraising@alternateshelter.com Alternate Shelter requires funding and sponsorships for the following items: Monetary Donations Desperately needed items Food Special arrangements can always be made to accommodate certain organizations and their donations. In return for your generous donations we will provide acknowledgement in our newsletter and on our website. :: Charitable Status The Alternate Shelter Society is registered charity. All donations over $10.00 are tax deductible, and receipts will be issued. One of the wisest investments is an investment in our children and their future. All donations are gratefully accepted. Donations may also be directed to a specific program/project at the request of the donor. :: Financial Status The society operates each project separately and each project is accountable to its own budget. Annually the Board of Directors sets fundraising goals, special projects, and funding plans for special projects. The Board of Directors monitors each project quarterly. The society is registered provincially, holds a Federal Charitable Status number, and is audited annually by a Chartered Accounting firm. Audited statements are available on request.
